While I certainly think my area is hardly crime ridden, we had a few events, some that even made the papers. Trying to be proactive, how do you get more patrols into your area?
After the last break-in, OPD basically responded with "yours is a safe neighborhood, so we don't patrol it (much)".

Well, flooding an area with patrols certainly is effective in controlling a high crime area, nothing wrong with that but you won't catch everyone, so the ones that got away will look for a different area to "shop at".

The short answer is you do not. OPD is not going to take requests to patrol more, they look at compiled crime statistics and adjust patrols accordingly. With the exception of perjuring yourself and lying about seeing suspicious activity there is nothing that you can say to them that will cause them to patrol the area more often.

If the answer is, simply get your neighbors to speak up and complain more, that is fine by me. That is easy to communicate and doesn't require much effort.

Not complain, people especially cops, do not like complaining. Raising awareness in the community about the concerns and getting as much of the community to know each other and what to be looking out for is an important step. Then reporting any and all suspicious activity to the police addressing and your concerns about crimes that have occurred is going to be the only legitimate shot at getting increased patrols.

Truth be told if enough crime occurs and there is consistent or marked increases in crime the police will step up their patrols. If there is no suspicious activity or crime to report do they really need to be pulled from their normal duties?

however, in the year I have lived here, I have seen 1 marked cruiser down my street and 1 other passing by the corner.

I don't expect an OPD LEO walking down my street every 2 hours but the response we got from OPD and quoted above, does seem a little too far out of touch IMO.
Maybe I am wrong and I am happy to admit to that. Maybe Tampa PD just has more resources available to them than Orlando, and I am spoiled.

I disagree. A popular belief is that you cannot stop crime, you can only displace it at the street level. In other words, if a thief or drug dealer sees a police presence, they will simply take their crime elsewhere.

Some things that may help:
1) Report any suspicious activity to the police department. Dialing 311 puts you through to Orange County non-emergency or 321-235-5300 for OPD's non-emergency number.
2) Contact your county commissioner and ask them to get involved. You may get the run-around at first, but they should help if enough constituents complain.
3) Since you don't have an HOA, organize a community facebook page and invite your neighbors. This sounds cheesy but I have seen how pages like the Conway Community have come together and even helped catch criminals.

You can also use resources like CrimeReports.com to research crime history in your area.

I think the best you can do is be vigilant of your own area. Also keep an eye out for local community meetings with people from OPD. I've been to one before, and they listened to a lot of different complaints (think the show Parks and Rec if you've seen it) but some of the more louder ones with a lot of people in agreement they made promises to look into. Things like a stop sign in a neighborhood that is usually ignored.

Also, at that meeting, they told us the best way to help the PD help us is to report every single crime and suspicious activity that goes on. It's a big problem when things go unreported and areas look perfectly safe on the police map when it is not the case.

OPD patrols ARE complaint driven. If you get your neighbors to call in ALL suspicious activity, then you will likely net more patrols.

We have been having a lot of issues with vagrants trespassing and after several reports - INSIST ON A CASE NUMBER before getting off phone; no case number, then it never happened. Last time I called I had to ask 4 times for a case number - be persistent. Anyway, after we kept having issues, I went to social media, which got the attention of the right people and patrols have increased.

We were concerned that someone was going to get hurt, a resident or vagrant. Once that is out there it becomes OPD's responsibility to do something. Media would have a field day with a story like that if OPD, after multiple incidents and resident requests, did nothing to address the issue.

People don't bother to call and report incidents. Get the word out and when a neighbor tells you about an incident, make sure they have called OPD before they gossip with you about the incident.
